If you look at the pots you can see they are quite old, the hand-written signatures is something I've never seen before. But the most interesting feature to my eye is the "gilt" edges. What is the material? Gold? Brass? Why is it there?
So, I was momentarily excited when I saw what looking like a similar pot listed. Perhaps it was not as old and might not command such a high price... take a look:

Oh ebay!

The "gilt" edges are clearly gold paint... Someone must have seen the other auctions and gotten an idea to get rich... they were fast too! those other auctions only ended only a few days ago!
But what is the deal with the real version of this kind of pot? Is there a name for the style? I'd love to find a more "honest" reproduction. (one made with metal not paint!)
